:lol: This is a <i>24</i> situation. The show hasn't gotten any worse; people are just losing patience with its absurdity at different rates. And just like <i>24</i>, you either embrace it or move on, because it's not going to change.

I'm fine with the absurdity because I'm mostly interested in whether they can actually sustain the concept through to a conclusion that makes even a shred of sense.

I cant stop laughing at this show. WHen that housewife was just flirting the whole time it seemed like a huge joke to me.

I'll keep watching till they kill off T-Bag; he really is the highlight of this show... acting wise of course.

I don't think the level of absurdity is any worse than the end of season one, but I do think that it is worse than the first quarter or so of season one. But I guess that makes sense, though. The more characters that are involved, the more absurd it will be.

Yeah, the horny housewife routine was funny. She acted like SHE was the one who had just gotten out of prison.

Did they ever expain what happened between her & T-Bag? I thought she liked the other guy, then there was the broken glass, but they were upstairs doing something? Huh? That didn't make any sense.

What did he do with his dead, floppy hand?

Well, he T-bagged her with it, of course.

The whole premise of the show is a guy getting himself covered with a ginormous tattoo that has secret details of his prison-escape plan, getting himself arrested and sent to the same jail in which his brother is a capital prisoner, and breaking out with that brother. The very premise is absurd.

When the cop arrived her reaction made me think she had been stalling for time, but if that's the case then we have a police department that:

1. Responds to a possible sighting of a fugitive with multiple units in 20 seconds.

2. Responds to a possible home invasion of a single women by multiple men with a lone female deputy in a couple of hours.

Knowing how everything has a rationale explanation in the PB world, that makes me think the woman didn't call the cops and perhaps the deputy is her girlfriend.

That thought crossed my mind as well.... either that or just a friend.

It's owned by Twentieth Century Fox. Looks like they're trying to get a little "Lost Experience" thing going.

that site is pure comic gold!! I think Scofield had a little too much fun typing up all those fake posts.
